Is anyone else getting notice from Kroger Pharmacy that they won't fill rx starting January? [View all]

Some kind of a contract issue between Kroger and insurers or providers.

I have gotten three different notices about it and don't understand why this is the case. It's terribly inconvenient.

AND.... this year Kroger wanted $90 cash for a flu shot that cost $29 last year, despite no change in insurance coverage.
